Long Run; On Your Own/With Friends

[Harry Bripps]

Much prefer my own company. Use my long runs to reorder my head! A scary task, best left alone.
Also love the silence, self reliance and no one else to worry about for a couple of hours.

bravo! cant say better than that. running time is me time. i dont want anyone else there to distract from it.

I do both - tend to push myself harder on my own, but also enjoy the business of going out over the Downs with a couple of mates.

Just noticed no suitable 'both' option in the poll.

Ah yes, see thats the trouble with you southern softies. you have downs whereas we have ups

I though us northerns called the hills and mountains "fells"

Does this mean there are some fell downs somewhere in England.

Perhaps people like myself, now living in the midlands, could be called fell down runners.

Up here the high points are often called lows!

....does this make me a miserable, unsociable b*****d?

Yes.

[Last Man Home]

Solo as I'm so slow, Poppy would just go with the faster runners and then who would navigate??

[cobbydale]

just me and the sheep

Intervals and the like are more fun with others. Misery loves a companion and all that!

Thou love going out for a long run in hills on my own, but hate long road runs on my own (thou thats the case 99% of the time....I have no friends)
